An anonymous donor recently made an important project happen for the students of Fellowship Baptist Academy in the form of a new playground area.
As Fellowship Baptist Church Pastor Tyler Prater tells it, the project had been on the minds of many for a long time.
“Our church has had Fellowship Baptist Academy for more than 40 years now. Just a few years ago, our student body was only about 25 children, and since then, we've experienced some rapid growth in our school as we've done some revitalizing and restructuring, and today, we have nearly 200 students,” Tyler said. “We had a playground already built for the school grounds, but when you experience that type of growth, a bigger space is needed. That was already on our radar, and then about a year ago, one of our church members came to me with a donation check and told me to use it for the children and the school. After talking to our trustees and Sid [Prater], this came to the top of the list, and that's what we chose to do.”
